I've Been There Before (Grace and Caden) novel Chapter 94

“Do they… also include Mr. Shaw?”

Gloria clearly felt that Grace in her arms was stiff immediately after hearing this.

She silently sighed. It was right.

They didn’t believe… including Caden.

So far, without having Grace to speak much, Gloria could roughly guess this was the issue between Grace and Caden.

Wallis Venus… She vaguely heard about someone who had mentioned this name before when she followed Caden in these two years.

She also vaguely heard about this girl named Wallis Venus was different in the heart of Caden but later brutally killed at a young age.

She had never known the reason why this girl, who was extremely special in the heart of Caden, passed away.

Today, she finally understood.

However, she didn’t believe it.

Grace was too proud, and so she disdained to do such a thing.

Gloria raised her hand and touched Grace’s head. She didn’t ask Grace why she didn’t explain to Caden and prove her innocence.

This was because only those people that had the same experience could understand how sorrow and helpless it was when they were not trusted by their loved ones.

That was why she understood the reason that Grace didn’t explain to Caden because she had experienced the same thing before. Perhaps Grace had explained but no one believed and even unwilling to listen to her. More often than not, it was useless to explain as no one believed you.

“Do you have any plan?”

“Wait for him to get tired.”

Tired?

Tired of what?

Tired of Grace?

After thinking for a while, Gloria said, “I’m not hiding it from you. I didn’t transfer the money and checks that you gave me to the bank account. I put them in the security box instead. Originally, if there was a miracle that you could save up to five million yuan today, I planned to transfer the rest of the money into the bank account at the last moment through the social connections that I had built up during these years in S City. However, I didn’t expect the things that happened later.”

“Grace, there is nothing that I can do to help you but Mr. Shaw didn’t mention the money. Therefore, I won’t transfer the money into the bank account. I will give you back the money and checks later. You should hide it and take it all away when you can leave. Don’t blame me for not helping you escape. To put it nicely, I’m the general manager of Royal Club but in fact, I’m just a watchdog of Mr. Shaw.”

Grace was very grateful, “I know it is quite risky for you to do this for me.” She wanted to say “thank you” but she also felt that the word “thank you” was very low-priced. She could only hug Gloria tightly.

“Well, I’ll go first.”

…

On the other side, Caden received several calls one after another. Walter’s grandfather, Patrick. He called him personally, “Walter is ignorant and has offended you. You can help me to teach the arrogant brat a lesson. That will teach him to not be so ignorant.”

The elders of several wealthy young men who humiliated Grace in the private room of the Royal Club called Caden in turn. Others were pleading for mercy and apologizing, but only Patrick called Caden to help him teaching his grandson a lesson.

The night had already dark. The man sat by the window and looked at the pitch-black outside with the gloomy gaze. He only slightly narrowed his eyes, and opened his thin lips saying slowly, “Since Master He has said that, then as the junior, I naturally have to do it. Master He can rest assured to leave Walter to me. I will absolutely follow your request and teach him how to behave so that he won’t provoke someone who shouldn’t be offended in the future. It’s getting late. Have a good rest, Master He.”

He used his slender fingers to hang up the phone without looking at it.

On the other end of the phone, the silver-haired old man was so angry that he was about to smash the phone in his hand, “Damn you, the Shaw’s youngest son!” He shouted angrily at the butler next to him, “The Shaw family is too fearless! I’ve been in this trade area for decades. I’m not the kind of person without any recognition, and I’m older than him for two generations. Caden Shaw is just a mere junior from the Shaw family. How dare him to humiliate me on the phone!”

The butler next to him could only comfort, “Master He, you can be relieved. As you said, there are a lot of juniors nowadays that are arrogant. You can just consider that you are being polite to the juniors.” It was nice to hear that but the butler’s eyes were full of helpless instead.

Master He, he was Caden Shaw from the Shaw family. You were so mad, but what could you do with him?

Fought with the Shaw family?

Did you have the courage, ability, and strength?

Of course, it was impossible for the butler to tell Patrick about this.

The old butler had been following Patrick for a long time, and so he had already figured out Patrick’s thoughts. He got an idea in a blink of an eye, “It seemed like the Second Young Master had mentioned the daughter of the James family when he called on the phone for help just now.”

After his reminder, Patrick suddenly said, “Didn’t the daughter of the James family imprison?” He thought of something all of a sudden, “You call James family. I have to ask Jafar James personally.”

He made the phone call late at night. As expected, there was a dissatisfaction in the voice from the phone after the call was getting through, “Who calls at late night?”

“Jafar, were you asleep?”

Jafar on the other end of the phone suddenly awoke after hearing the slow voice of Patrick, “Oh, it’s Master He. Why are you calling me at such a late night?”

“Jafar, I want to congratulate you.”

Jafar was baffled, “Master He, what do you mean by congratulating me?”

“Congratulation on the reunion of your family. Grace has already released from the prison, right?”

Jafar’s face changed suddenly. He wore the solemn expression on his face, “Master He, you called me at this late night just to tell me this?”

At the same time, he was calculating the time in his heart… That wicked daughter might be released from the prison already.

Thinking of that wicked daughter, Jafar felt frustrated… Back then, James family went through so many hardships, and it almost destroyed the foundation of the James family that had built up for several generations. She was the bane of the James family that made them become a joke in Shanghai!

Patrick laughed, “As you know, Walter is a young and energetic child that always likes those clubs. Jafar, anyhow, the elders have watched Grace growing up. Although she had made mistakes before, you, as her dad, shouldn’t let her fall into the Royal Club and make a living by soliciting the men.

Wham!

Patrick heard the sound of a cup breaking on the ground from the phone, and a smile finally appeared on his old face… Since this incident was caused by the Jafar’s child and had involved Walter, there was no way for him to let Jafar preserved his dignity, slept well, and had a nice dream at night!
